Same. Had to move to another continent to be together, but you can learn alot about someone while repeatedly trying to kill an invading demonic horde.

Also met my wife in WoW. Human connections can happen in unexpected places... like the beaches of Tanaris

Here here! My wife and I got to know each other doing dungeons and raids on WoW before meeting in person. You learn a lot about people seeing how they work with others to overcome challenges.

I also knew one or two people who got jobs at Blizzard.

Starting as game-masters, becoming admins etc.

I waited years for this game, back when it still was planned as regular RPG, but somehow I never played it.
